Effect of sink flow on dual-valve electro-hydraulic excitation system
In this study, the main goal is to investigate the displacement gain characteristics of novel dual-valve Electro-Hydraulic Excitation system (EHES). Relative to conventional system, the dual-valve system can improve the amplitude range, but the range is always affected by some nonlinear factors. In order to analysis on the issue, a nonlinear mathematical model of dual-valve EHES is established based on Bernoulli and classical electro-hydraulic servo equation. Then, the results of numerical simulations by using of the MATLAB/Simulink software are compared with experimental results. Simulation and experimental results show that the sink flow mainly influences on the flow dynamic characteristics of dual-valve EHES. Because of that, dual-valve EHES only can improve 50Â %-70Â % of displacement within 5 to 50Â Hz of excitation frequency and 45Â %-80Â % of displacement amplitude within 20Â % to 100Â % of command value
